Chapter 342: Chasing Chen Lan

The momentum of the cavalry charge made the people who escorted the grain and grass panic and fled backwards, they were the people temporarily requisitioned by the army, who had seen the battle on the battlefield, their first reaction was to flee. Pinshu.com

In the army, Wang Wei's face immediately sank, he glanced at the deputy general coldly, and ordered: "Before the cavalry, the rest of the people are ready to fight!" ”

The adjutant general knew that he was at a loss, led the cavalry, and went to kill.

One, two, three, more and more grain and grass were ignited, the purpose of these cavalry was very simple, they did not come to fight with the Jingzhou army, but to rush to the grain and grass, to burn the enemy's grain and grass, they were victorious.

The chaotic convoy made the cavalry led by Chen Lan invincible, with the people's obstruction, the formation of the Jingzhou army was constantly impacted, and many people still believed in their own army, they knew that even if they escaped here, there would be no good results.

"Whoever dares to ram the army, kill!" Wang Wei said in a deep voice.

When the people saw that the army of grain and grass could not bring them protection, they ran towards the valley behind, and the road in the valley was narrow, and the dense crowd of people swarmed and trampled, and many of the people fell to the ground and let out a miserable wail.

"Gather the grain carts together!" Wang Wei shouted.

The escape of the people made it convenient for the Jingzhou army to collect grain and grass, and grain trucks were gathered.

"Relying on the grain truck, form a formation!" Wang Wei ordered.

On the battlefield, if the team escorting grain and grass encounters an attack, it can rely on the grain cart to resist the enemy's attack, which is also familiar to many generals, but in this way, the initiative of the battlefield is in the hands of the enemy, not to mention that Wang Wei escorted too many grain and grass, and the team is too long, so it is impossible to protect too many grain carts.

Vice General Wang Wei, who knew that he had made a big mistake, spread his anger on Chen Lan and led the cavalry to kill him bravely, which was also quite impressive.

Seeing this, Chen Lan snorted coldly, jumped forward and fought with Vice General Wang Wei.

The cavalry of the Jingzhou army was at a disadvantage in numbers, and Wang Wei's purpose was to stick to the grain and grass, so as not to let Chen Lan have a greater achievement, two hundred Jingzhou cavalry, in the face of the excited enemy, suffered heavy casualties, and the deputy general was picked off the horse by Chen Lan with a shot after twenty times.

Without cavalry, the Jingzhou army was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, and could only rely on grain and grass to resist the attack of the cavalry.

"Shoot the arrows!" Wang Wei shouted.

The frightened Jingzhou army shot sparse arrows, these arrows failed to bring much damage to the cavalry under Chen Lan's command, when the cavalry charged, they were scattered in all directions, but these arrows were densely directed in one direction.

"Put!" Although the cavalry under Chen Lan's command was not skilled in arching horses, it was still possible to rain arrows on the Jingzhou army gathered in one place.

"Defend!" Wang Wei's loud shouts woke up some of the shield soldiers, but more soldiers fell under the rain of arrows.

After a few rounds of attacks, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army gradually regained their rhythm and went back and forth with the cavalry under Chen Lan.

The cavalry did not dare to approach the grain truck, and the Jingzhou army behind the grain truck did not dare to kill it.

Seeing that Wang Wei was on guard, Chen Lan led the cavalry to roar away.

Looking at the constantly burning grain and grass on the battlefield, Wang Wei was furious, at least half of the grain and grass escorted was burned by Chen Lan, he had already imagined Liu Biao's anger, and while ordering the soldiers to put out the fire, he sent someone to inform the army.

Chen Lan led the cavalry to continue to wander the battlefield, harassing the food team of the coalition army.

The alliance of princes stationed outside Anfeng City kept sending soldiers to fight outside the city, but whenever the state army went to fight, the city gate was absolutely closed, and when it was replaced by the Jingzhou army, the Zhongjia army seemed to vent all the depression brought by the state army on their bodies.

Liu Biao was also very dissatisfied when he saw this, every time he changed to the Jingzhou military formation, there must be casualties, and the state army went, there was absolutely no one in the city of Anfeng City, when Cao Cao and others led the troops to fight, they had fought with the army in the city, but the degree of the battle was not fierce, and the princes also understood that at this time, it was natural to preserve their own strength, even if Jingzhou lost a lot of people, but there were tens of thousands of people.

The Jingzhou army is fighting in turns Sishan is heavy, but all the troops brought by the princes are definitely extremely elite, and the Jingzhou army is many times stronger, and they can also be at ease in the face of the battlefield.

Seeing this, Lu Bu smiled secretly, if Hua Xiong dared to go out of the city to kill the Bingzhou army, it would be strange, and Yuan Shu's army did not move, which also made Lu Bu suspicious, although the number of the coalition army was large, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Anfeng, could it be that Yuan Shu was waiting for reinforcements from other places?

For half a month, the siege equipment has been built, just waiting for the army to attack the city.

In his heart, Liu Biao was unwilling to storm such a city defended by tens of thousands of people, and the siege battle was different from the battle outside the city, the defenders occupied a favorable position, and often the number of casualties could reach one or three, which was still a better situation.

In the past, when Yanzhou was in the past, the Jingzhou army and the Yanzhou army rose up, and it must have been inferior, but it was the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Ping to block Cao Cao's day and night attack of tens of thousands of people.

"General Wang Wei was attacked by the rebel cavalry in Xiyang, and half of the grain and grass were lost." A general walked into the big tent with a panicked look and shouted.

Liu's surface color changed slightly, at this time, the army's grain and grass were only enough for three days, waiting for Wang Wei's grain and grass to arrive, if the grain and grass behind were plundered again, the 100,000 army would starve.

"Incompetent!" Liu Biao said angrily, thinking of Cao Cao's advice at the beginning, he also secretly regretted it.

Cao Cao said: "For the sake of today's plan, we should quickly dispatch cavalry to defeat the thief army, otherwise the news of the disturbance of grain and grass will spread, and the army's heart will be unstable." ”

"The minister is willing to lead a thousand Xiliang cavalry to exterminate the rebels." Horses beyond the line.

It didn't seem to hear Ma Chao's request for battle, Liu Biao set his eyes on Lu Bu and said slowly: "I also hope that the Marquis of Jin can lead the cavalry there." Compared with Ma Chao, Liu Biao obviously trusts Lu Bu's strength more, and he also believes that Lu Bu will not play tricks in this matter, without food and grass, the army will be defeated, and there will be no eggs under the nest, and even the army will be impacted.

"Whoa!" Lu Bu knew that this was not the time to compete with Liu Biao, "Since General Ma Xiao is willing to go, why don't you let him go with you." ”、

Ma Chao's face turned red, and when he saw Lu Bu speak, his face looked a little better, anyone could see Liu Biao's contempt for him, and if it was any prince, I am afraid that he would also trust the state army, not Ma Chao who had no merit, after all, Ma Chao's age was there.
